Eternal purpose. Earthly impact.
At Awaken Cafe, each cup of coffee has the power to change someone's future.
Why A Non-Profit?
At Awaken, being a nonprofit lets us make real, lasting change. We partner with California nonprofits that provide humanitarian and spiritual care to many people. That means your purchase doesn’t fund a big corporation — it helps make the world better.
Current Partnerships
Vineyard Church
Our partnership with Vineyard Church is essential. Vineyard generously provides our entire facility — from the galley co-work space to the courtyard and the coffee shop — rent-free. Because of their support, we keep overhead low, pay our staff a living wage, and dedicate our profits to expanding partnerships across California.
Vineyard Church is an orthodox Christian community that invites people to place their trust and allegiance in Jesus Christ, as taught in the Bible.
Volente Coffee Roasters
Our partnership with Volente Roasters is incredible, and we are so proud to offer their amazing coffee.
Volente Coffee Roasters provides exceptional specialty coffee to churches, businesses, and consumers while training men and women to develop the business skills necessary to re-enter the workforce after homelessness and incarceration throughout California.
Compassion Tea
We have a proud partnership with Compassion Tea. Proceeds from Compassion Tea are donated to CompassioNow, which brings the life-saving message of the Gospel and essential medical care to people in rural parts of Africa.
Compassion Tea offers high-quality teas sourced through the Ethical Tea Partnership, an organization that promotes the health and well-being of tea plants, tea workers, and the environment.
